My New Baby...

[MrThebasketballfreak]

0:07?

[digitalwolves]

so have you made any home made porn movies after you bought this camera...Any torrents what we should be aware of?????

[bror31]

I`ve been shooting some footage with hdv z5 and xl2 sd and the image is sharper and clearer on the XL2 even if u resize it to 1280.

[steviiboy1]

Aww I've always wanted that cam but I'm only 12 :(

[IsotopeMac]

Name Her Ramona!!!!!

[mishalorenzo]

LOL. I got the same issues.

[james090500]

i am getting a xl1 or a xl2 and i am 11

[henryadrain14]

where did you get the camera?!

[muzafar001]

Get a room dontcha!?

[johnhi00]

XL 2, I sleep with mine.

[bouchandre]

now, tapes are becoming obsolete so I'm gonna get the ax2000

[JohnJR2009]

Americans. . . .

[studio3rogelio]

I love "the Cannon Killer"; SONY HDR FX 1, much better!

[MEGABOINK65]

LMAO i clicked this video a second time againg. but i had to watch the biggining.

I LOVE IT!! sound like me my baby hel me name it lolololol

[hal0wars9]

icarly

[FTRFB]

At least he honest when he says that he has issues....

[MEGABOINK65]

So true, that new smell, mmmmmmmmmm

[KennyGkienan]

your wife gave birth to an xl2?

[vectorsteel]

i would do anything for that camera

[jaysonv2]

@vectorsteel you! would do anything for a Canon XL2 ok...like what? Because I got another dumb friend who cant WAIT! to get rid of his...lol

[YaAllahuAkbar]

I Just Bought 1 Too :)

[Dinobot2468]

how about caroncorder

[Marillionmad]

Name her Gloria

[poncho630]

Man, if i ever got a Cannon Xl2 i'd do the fucking same, and maybe do some really hardcore shit (sexually talking)

[jaysonv2]

@poncho630 The best camcored for PORN was the Sony VX2100. One reason it was nicknamed the "porn cam" by the industry. But the new one now is the HDV family of low light cams like the new Z5U, Z57, FX1000.

[poncho630]

@jaysonv2 Amen.

[passthesalt2000]

@jaysonv2 I've got a Z5...maybe I should start to nudge myself in a different career direction...

[kilvington11]

hey it has an sd card right?

[dvamateur]

Yeah, beautiful piece of equipment. I want to get one too, but no money now. Too bad, because I want to get it before the DSLR video trend will kill the camcorder business. I mean, I am serious. I was talking to a pro videographer who was shooting Chick Corea, that the camcorder business is dead. This is like a dagger in my heart...

[ClayJoc]

Oh man. That's a good lookin' baby! Name her Josie!

[coolcats95661]

what do u use the camera for

[davidborboa]

I FEEL YOU BROTHER !

[wwwcircusnoircouk]

ha ha ha i totally understand your feeling about the whole new boys toy thing! I think you should call her tilulah lmao How much did that bad boy cost?

[anunnaki7777]

Congratulations!!!

[BulldogManiaOfficial]

i hate you rich ass

[kingjowl]

name it, "The debt"

[europazy]

. HERE IS U NAME "shit"

[ThatCoolDudeYouKno]

how about " Canon XL2 " .. no? ok nevermind

[ImJoshUrNot]

name it "Rusty Chains"

[sardo97]

name it "big burtha"

[SuckOneProductions]

Name it Fuck, or shit load of cash.

[beepsbobby]

i know that smell to like when i got my first mac i love the smell of new stuff .

[theguitarzan]

I had 2 of these, but now with the demand for HD, the XL2 is pretty much useless.

And with Canon stuck on HDV, looks like Canon video cameras will be remembered as great SD cameras.

[BulldogManiaOfficial]

@theguitarzan acutually they released a canon xl3 which is hd i know that this is a 6 month old comment im replying to but wanted you to know.

[theguitarzan]

Thanks. It's the XLH1, it shoots HDV, and unfortunately, HDV was a dead format almost as soon as it came out.

[daweller]

Name her Betsy

[jodroboxes]

it will be mine someday... oh yeah... it WILL be mine..

[glennplant]

im jealous i want this

[joetenista]

is canon xl2 an HD camera or SD?? which do u advise i get?

[GeneticBlend]

This is a SD. They make an HD version for about twice the price. You can get a good HD now for around $4,000. I definitely recommend HD.

[joetenista]

thank you. im looking into getting an HD but its too expensive. XL2 is my first best choice and its white/black design is awesome!

[PiontlessFilms]

she is very beautiful. I DREEEAAAAMMMM of getting a XL2, where'd you find your's and how much was it?

[GeneticBlend]

It was about $3500. Do some research. I love this camera but look into getting an HD.

[M1L1ARMSTRONG]

They are selling on Ebay at 1800, Just bought one this week : ) Wanted a Pro HD, but can't swing 4 to 5K on it.

[MegaOmen2010]

you can buy them new for 650 dollars direct from china that i know for for sure

[nickeo47]

@GeneticBlend If your going to buy a camera, for filming wedding, parties and films, you really want a camera that shoots onto films, ie. a small tape, because tape is better quallity for films and weddings than HD, yes HD is great but not for films.

and a tape camera is cheaper, for better quallity, i don't get it

[dadare6]

i got one it was on the canon website for 4,000

but you can get it for about a 1000 on different websites

[james090500]

@PiontlessFilms i am getting a xl1 or a xl2 and i am 11

[TAPTAPRODUCTIONS]

@PiontlessFilms i did some digging and found this camera for 1500$

[midnightskate]

name it Bernard. it just kinda fits if you ask me...

[TrexTony117]

you lucky lucky bastard you haha

[uzernuber1]

shoulda got a Sony EX :)

[spongah]

shoulda got a Panasonic HVX200!

[vilperi0]

Oh god, you saved my day this was so much fun. I was looking for some review of this camcorder, but only ones i found were this and some guy talking taiwnese. :D

[GeneticBlend]

Well, my advice would be to get an HD cam. I mean, I love this camera, it has served my well, but I would go for an Xh-A1 or comparable.

[flashgunfilms]

Time for me to buy a new cam - I had work shortlisted at a few film fests using an XM2. I want to upgrade to an XL2 but with HD coming out....??? Any ideas?

[NSBentertainment]

name her Sally.

[elemntskter67]

Sony VX2100 are alot better

[ambrassyndrome]

youre so lucky you can afford one! long for the day a poor film student like me can buy a baby like yours.good luck with you cam :)

[GeneticBlend]

Take the money you're spending on film school, buy an XL2 and MAKE A FILM. :^) Or buy a cheap camera, light it really well and just make films. Make films. You don't need an XL2, you don't need a degree. Make films now! Do it! :^D Best of luck.

[pedrogas79]

Amen.

[TrexTony117]

thats great advise man thanks

[l2ezado]

Bastard, this video is like a 'technology port' to me. I want a XL2 tooooooooooo:((((((

[GoobyOswana]

Congrats...

Im lookin to buy one myself but dont have the money...

I've been using someones DVX, and it's pretty good too.

[pedrogas79]

I also own a canon xl2..and If something bad happens to my baby...i will surely die. You dont need all the HD fancy cameras. Canon xl2 is the camera any filmmaker needs.

[maltijien]

If you had to choose between a Canon XL2 and a nice hot blonde?

what would you go for ???

;)

[flashgunfilms]

What kind of software do you use to create these clear images - I have an XL2 but when I post stuff on youtube it's el-crapo. Please help!

[GeneticBlend]

Final Cut. It's all how you export the video. 480 x 360.

[hondaking230]

hey, i play with an XL2 for church and weddings, its so awesome! i also have experience using the cannon XHA1 and i think i like it better, it can do hi-def and overall has a better resolution, but the xl2 is awesome as well, i'm a camera nerdy freak too:)have fun with it!

[ryanb37]

i am getting one in 3 weeks

[1941WWII]

I am getting mine tomorrow. Can't wait any longer, its been 4 days now waiting. Once I receive it I will have to post some videos. Of course after I do some editing, I am using FCE 4. It is a great program but once I learn it and get better at taking video I will be upgrading to FCP.

[GeneticBlend]

Cool! Congrats. I'm still using FCE myself until I finish building my studio.

[senyores2000]

damn you man damn you .. you just wet my appetite.. i want that cam aarrrrrgghhh..

sweet new cam scent and toy you got.. post some more!

[CptArnie]

dude... once i get my canon xl2... im going to be the same exact way.

[TraviesoFilmz]

HEy I got the XL2. I strongly recomend My the Redrock Lens adaptor!!

[Dierecta]

How about naming it Canon XL2??...lol

[senyores2000]

me too im saving up for a baby like yours...

that is one sweet cam you got.. still too damn expensive! grrrrrrrrr

[stylistbrighton]

oooohh..i just googled this camera...pricey! but, soooo lovely.. respect to you...much respect..

[stylistbrighton]

that is one gorgeous camera..is that the one you use for all your videos now?

[sjpc33]

Go out and film something!

[emotianalfilms]

whats the diffrence between 24p and 24f?

[Khemera777]

24f is canon's secret technology to achieve 24p using interlaced chips instead of progressive chips. Technically, the two fields of each frame are captured precisely at the same time, which enable 24f (using interlaced 60i chips) to look just like 24p. A another upside is the machine won't need cooling mechanism like 24p cameras. Progressive chips need cooling, interlaced don't or need less.

[ThatsRateFunny]

it records in 23.976 to be precise not 24p but it's pretty close :>

[michaelkrumlauf]

Welcome to the XL2 Family man, enjoy your new cam its the best 16:9 SD cam on the market (i think)

[GeneticBlend]

I agree. Thanks!

[jonnymuffins]

u r so lucky i need 1 lol nd yh its a baby alrite

[1idiot2]

i am saving up for the CANON XL2 as we speak. I can't wait!!!!!!

[kuzuko]

I named my Jenny... just like forrest gump would've. ENJOY man...

[nHisImage]

Bro - that is a SERIOUS camera. Nice.

[ShintaVonWeizegger]

I dunno why, but the constant smelling just makes me cry with laughter.

P.S.

I vote for 'Veronica' being the name.

[koalsn]

hehe excellent! can't wait for my XL2, shipping soon...

are you satisfied with the XL2?

[GeneticBlend]

Awesome, congtats. I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of what this puppy can do. I couldn't be happier with it.

[toechesse]

Do it man you only go around once. ;)

[TheTruth007]

"Cam Handerson"

[retepvosnul]

Name here Lucy. Thats always a good name for insane gear.

[entmage]

how about "Filma"

[DeXimE]

WTF? I want! lol

[Eemma]

omg!!

[GeneticBlend]

OMG!! :^O

[tlg847]

Oh, man, <b><i>you're killin' me with that beauty!</b></i> Congrats, Joe. (Hmm...I got a birthday comin' up...)

[GeneticBlend]

Hey thanks Tom.

[Bytewalker]

$5000 for a camera, ouch! cant wait to see some awesome stuff though

[GeneticBlend]

It was less than 5k. The HD version is $8,000!!!

[kuzuko]

yup! but the the HD version doesn't shoot in 24p.. only on 24F

[TheTruth007]

no wait... name it "Trojan" after the condoms. think about it... what is the one thing cameras and condoms have in common?

they are both made to capture the moment.

hahahaha-I'll shut up now.

[pfaffanator]

i just got a new camera too. but its the same model as the first one, i had to get a new one because i broke the first one

[annspade]

Name her Camilion... because through her you can produce so many different images, films, etc.

No? Yeah. Cheesy. :D

[GeneticBlend]

I like that. I'm totally down with cheesy. :^)

[curt344]

IT'S HUGE!!!

Contrats on your new career. But I'm curious - will the colonoscopies be posted on a separate channel?

[GeneticBlend]

Yes, they'll be on colonoscopiesofblend. haha!

[curt344]

Isn't that already an XTube channel??

8-/

[annspade]

OMG!!!! THAT CAM ROOOOCKS!! Total eye camdy! (Get it? CAM-dy? Oh.) Congratulations on the birth of your new baby, Joe! Sweet. Freakin'. Camera. And OMG, yes! It's the new electronics smell! I have the spray! LOL! (Not really.) Aaron opens a box to a new electronic device and does the same thing... *breath in heavily... still breathing... still breathing... EXHALE!*

[GeneticBlend]

Eye Camdy... Oh no.

Thanks Ann!

[irejectreality]

you have issues... we know. call her BabyofBlend!!!!

[TheTruth007]

"GeneticBlender"

[maryann712]

OK If I knew you better, I'd ask if you were compensating for your short comings. Instead, I will say HOLY CRAP, cool camera! (And "PFFT" to my sad little Kodak Easy Share that I record with :) It looks like a space craft- how about Gemini?

[winger1212]

You are soooo funny.

[JohnPliskin]

I'm proud of you man that's the same reastion I would have. If you're still taking name suggestions, I recomend Gloria. No spicific reason, it's just what I named my desktop computer. Yeah, I have issues too...

[IAGuy06]

You have issues? I'm starting to wonder if that's not true for most everyone on here (even those who don't make videos).

Bessy... not sure why.

[slimin2007]

You should name it Clarice! By the way, do you like to eat fava beans with a nice bottle of chianti???????

[projectblogsphere]

That is an awesome camera. I actually almost bought it some time ago because it's so pretty (no use for it what-so-ever, but damn... that thing is sexy). Now that you've told the world about this, we're expecting even higher quality stuff, Joe! Hope you're ready for it!

As for what to name the new baby... might as well call her Marissa, because if the stories I'm hearing is true, you might as well marry it. Sicko.

[Tagewag]

That is one heck of a camera. I find it a good time to use my favorite word here. GINORMOUS!

[dancegypsy]

Monsterously envious. Well, not really. Happy, that's it. I'm very happy for you AND for me, since I'm a subscriber and the end user of whatever you produce. Great looking camera. *drool*

[BigBearLodge]

Damn Joe! That is one heck of a NEW BABY you got there. I sure am glad I am on here for the Blogging and not the short film making...as you will have that department all wrapped up. Now, now, now you know the new kid is a boy and you wanna name your big boy DIRK after Dirk Diggler the fictional character in Boogie Nights....lol

[WHATTHEBUCKSHOW]

you are big pimping now!

[MomoDelicious]

lol, nice baby, looks like a boy to me though.

[GrahamCarroll]

Moziltov!

How about...Graham. That's one hell of a name. And everyone I know that's named Graham is one hell of a film maker.

Just a thought.

[DoctorMetropolis]

you should name it Leigon, for it has a number, and it is the number of a beast.

[matts417]

Whow, that must have the new smell...it looks better than your old one, is it? cus dang....that looks exspensive also. lol so how did you get that good camera, that good looking wife, and your apparently good rep? u must of had a genne...send ask for 100 more wishes! and wish i had farry god parrents (that granted me every wish that i wanted) lol pce.

[bobsully]

Thanks on hellofva Camera...

[Chadwick781]

I like Audrey =]

[OHTXAZ]

Well; I Would Suggest A Name, But I Think Audrey Is A Great One. ;0)

Roberta

[warll2]

Just like in new cars what you are smelling is the glues sued in the factory. So try not to sniff to much eh?

[sonyflores]

and we shall name her Baby Blend!

[jenluv37]

What a beautiful baby! Congratulations! I think you should name her Brian . . .

[GeneticBlend]

Oh.. of course. That's a perfect girls name! LOL

[kenrg]

Oh, I am so jealous. I just bought a new one too, but I held back on packing that much technology. Enjoy! Okay, the name, how about Genie?

[AikoShrek]

That looks like it cost more than my car did.

[speedyconkiwi]

omg you wanna name your videocamera? that's sweet, then my camera Cammy and your's could totally hang out together.

oh wait.

different continents and stuff. crap.

hm.

then again i saw you in the supermarket the other day. seriously. you got a german twin or something?

anyways.

KICK ASS CAMERA my dear!!

[snarkdetriomphe]

Lulu (short for lookyloo)

[thisismyblog]

Ooh, the XL2 is AMAZING. I worked for a local production company for a few years and operated those, and it's younger cousin - the GL2. Your baby won't let you down, I can guarantee you that!

Now you need a VT4 system to edit and you will be set! ;-)

Congrats! I can't think up any suitable name for her, but let us know when you decide on one, okay?

[Illuminatta]

I covet thy technology! LOL Congratulations!!

[bnessel1973]

Name it "Exhibit A".  That might now make sense now, but give it 3 years...

[italianguyfromny]

HA!

[winger1212]

We have a winner!

[Rocketman16]

You could have kissed it..we understand :)

[mtamorphis]

I luv the new baby, as a matter of fact I wish I had a baby! LOL

BTW, name her Cammy! ;)

[wpgpeanut]

Congrats.. on your new bundle of joy.. hehe

[pherenika]

Well, I've always found "Marie" to be a very beautiful and perfect name... 0:-)

Also, I want to say "YAY!" - for you daring to take this step. I really hope you will be able to live off your videomaking in the future.

[thefrozenghost]

Congratulations, you crazy bastard!! She's sleek and sexy and sophisticated...I would name her Audrey after Ms. Hepburn...

[GeneticBlend]

I think that might be a winner.

[italianguyfromny]

Mrs. Pigglesworth. Final answer. lol. Wow man nice camera.

[johnbrouwer1]

Ann!

[PrincessDiana161]

You should name her after someone that inspires you. Congrats on the new camera....she's beautiful!

[ripperjackthe]

Dollars Oh my god Dollars. Sponsor money :). I think you should give it a girls name. 1. Anika (or short An) 2.Loralie 3.Bitchie Michie 4.Cranky yanky 5. Betty-Sue (as above) 6.Old maid

[joemso]

ooo lucky you! I would call it Betty or Sally.

[DGK1058]

call it umm the marine yea y did u get a new one ur old one was fine

[Rotarrius]

Call it Narcissus! why? you and the camera are now one, you love the camera like you love yourself. Ultimately you will be changed and enter into a higher state of film making genius. GeneticBlendissus, see sounds like a flower already. Flourish my friend, flourish! Failing that, call it Betty-Sue. : D

[oldhippie100]

cool camera,just don't start talking to it..lol

[hyphen782]

i nominate the name "cheesy mcfritos"

a beautiful camera needs an ugly name for that whole irony thing to work...

i think i might be lookign for another word besides irony...

its 4am on a sat night, give me a break

[Aciel88]

name... dunno, sth original like what James Dean named his car "little bastard". not calling you names, btw, but it would be more unique and funny to give it a name like that.

[anakin1814]

My best friend bought the same type of camera a year or two ago (he's a professional editor). I'm amazed by the quality that thing has! I have to agree with you on the "new electronics smell." When my new Macs show up, I find myself sniffing them as well! CONGRATS!!!!
